Sugar alcohol (alditol) An alcohol derived from a monosaccharide by reduction of its carbonyl group (CO) so that each carbon atom of the sugar has an alcohol group (OH).
And it mainly includes the action of 1,3-diethylene alkylation and acidyl; the action of addition of carbonyl compound; the action of chlorortrimethys:lane and the reaction of diethy lene.
If you were paying attention, you learned that alcohols are organic compounds with hydroxyl groups, if you dehydrogenate them, the hydroxyl converts to a carbonyl and they become dehydrogenated alcohols or aldehydes.
